With the hypothesis that all independent degrees of freedom of basic building blocks should be treated equally on the same footing and correlated by a possible maximal symmetry, we arrive at an 4-dimensional space-time unification model. In…
The addition of mass terms in general breaks gauge symmetries which can be recovered usually via Stueckelberg fields. The massive BF model describes massive spin-1 particles while preserving the $U(1)$ symmetry without Stueckelberg fields.…

Quantum many-body systems exhibit an extremely diverse range of phases and physical phenomena. Here, we prove that the entire physics of any other quantum many-body system is replicated in certain simple, "universal" spin-lattice models. We…
A geometric formalism is developed which allows to describe the non-linear regime of higher-spin gravity emerging on a cosmological quantum space-time in the IKKT matrix model. The vacuum solutions are Ricci-flat up to an effective vacuum…
Spinor structure and internal symmetries are considered within one theoretical framework based on the generalized spin and abstract Hilbert space. Complex momentum is understood as a generating kernel of the underlying spinor structure. It…

We give a brief introduction into the gauge invariant formulation of irreducible massive bosonic higher spin fields. We discuss both free Lagrangians and the ones which include cubic interactions. We demonstrate an application of these…
We study the simplest geometrical particle model associated with null paths in four-dimensional Minkowski space-time. The action is given by the pseudo-arclength of the particle worldline. We show that the reduced classical phase space of…
Ten-dimensional models, arising from a gravitational action which includes terms up to the fourth order in curvature tensor, are discussed. The spacetime consists of one timelike dimension and two maximally symmetric subspaces, filled with…
In the last years higher dimensional physics has won importance. Despite the Superstrings, higher dimensional effects, in measurable scales of energy (some TeV), became only possible with Randall-Sundrum's models (RS). In particular, recent…
The sixteen real coordinates of two-twistor space are transformed by a nonlinear mapping into an enlarged space-time framework. The standard relativistic phase space of coordinates $(X_\mu, P_\mu)$ is supplemented by a six-parameter spin…
Spherical reduction of generic four-dimensional theories is revisited. Three different notions of "spherical symmetry" are defined. The following sectors are investigated: Einstein-Cartan theory, spinors, (non-)abelian gauge fields and…
We investigate the possibility to construct a generalization of the Standard Model, which we call the Maximal Mass Model because it contains a limiting mass $M$ for its fundamental constituents. The parameter $M$ is considered as a new…
The correspondence between stationary, axisymmetric, asymptotically flat space-times and bundles over a reduced twistor space has been established in four dimensions. The main impediment for an application of this correspondence to examples…
Mathisson-Papapetrou-Tulczyjew-Dixon (MPTD) equations in the Lagrangian formulation correspond to the minimal interaction of spin with gravity. Due to the interaction, in the Lagrangian equations instead of the original metric $g$ emerges…
